Post KO shots need to be discouraged

[Trabaho]

Imagine you are knocked out and the opponent sees you stiff and runs across the octagon racing the refree to hit you again faster than the ref who tries to call it off. Results broken face, brain fluid leaking trough nose and life long titanium in your face. Awful. And unecessary. The promotions and fans need to discourage this. Fighters need to change.

Tough to ask someone in the heat of the moment to stop before the ref intervenes, even though some fighters have done it

 

[b00tysweat]

maybe you should watch a different combat sport

What happens when they dont fall down and the ref dont care and the corner seems to have lost their towel?

 

[Clark Rogers]

I get it but I don't know the solution.

They say fight until the ref stops it or pulls you off, we've seen guys not take that follow up thinking a ref was going to step in, then they didn't, so idk.

I do think when someone is clearly out cold, like in this situation, you shouldn't really do what happened here, or what Hendo did to (iirc, been a while) Bisping.

I just know not every situation that leads to unnecessary shots begins with someone being out stiff. Those are the ones I'm not sure how to solve.

Dude, we don't even have a HW champ/division, we can't get champs to stop vacating their belts the moment they win them. And if they achieve dbl champ status, they want to cherry pick opponents or take 10 months off for their divorce

Don't even think about campaigning for taking away my super necessary late hits on unconscious bodies, lol

May as well just have them all play laser tag or hide and seek at this rate

Refs need to do their job imo; although the Robocop one recently was pretty fucking egregious.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Some people should stick to golf

 

[Trabaho]

I mean if it's 100% obvious and the fighter does it on purpose. Just to be violent.

 

[jeff7b9]

I think the problem is that fighters... not all of them, but obviously a lot, go into that "latched on pitbull" mode


Thru the lens of a regular sane person.. of course.
If a dude is CLEARLY shut off, stiff, thats a wrap, yeah, don't smash their face.


Watch street fight videos.

That "pitbull" mentality is in a decent percent of people.

Refs gotta be on point and appropriately sized for the weight class they are calling and be willing to put their body on the line.

These are violent people.

You are talking within the subset of people who choose to fight in a cage for a living.

It's on the refs to protect the fighters once they can no longer defend themselves.

Do you feel tough writing that ?

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Do you feel tough writing that ?

Yes, but I also like golf

 

[RockyLockridge]

only if i like the fighter.

 

[VinceArch]

Yet you have others on here wanting stomps and soccer kicks to be legal. Can't please everyone.

Never fails to surprise me how many MMA fans still think this is all about honor and Samurai code, and not Neanderthals that thrive on beating the shit out of others lol.

Dude why are you showing the worst early stoppage ever in a thread about unnecessary extra punches?

 

[jitzmonkey]

Don't disagree; but it's going to be difficult to come up with a "rule" for the fighters to follow.
I'd argue that training refs better when it comes to effectively stopping the fights would be easier.

Yes, but I also like golf

Wouldn't mind seeing those; just not to unconscious opponents.
